        Dan Quayle helped save democracy!

        Seriously, Pence called him looking for guidance on the electoral college certification, and it was Quayle who convinced him that he had no choice but to certify the election. He’s earned the right to spell potato however he wants.

          The redemption of Dan Quayle was one of the strangest moments of our strange era in history.

      Who would you say is worse? I’m not sharp on history and politics.

          JD is much worse.

          When Palin first joined the McCain ticket, she boosted his poll numbers and none of the criticism she got seemed to stick. It was only when SNL started parodying her that public opinion shifted. On paper she was exactly what McCain needed, both to shore up his base and to add some much need youth and energy, and having that whole family image that polled well with women.

          Obviously we have a lot more information to go on now, but at the time Palin made sense.

          Vance was a terrible pick from the beginning. He’s a nut job that even Republicans aren’t happy with. He appeals to nobody that wouldn’t have already been a Trump supporter. He adds nothing of value, just more shit that people can easily mock and/or be terrified of.

            He adds nothing of value

            He was chosen because he publicly said he would do what Mike Pence wouldn’t do on January 6th.

              As would the vast majority of Republicans now, I think. There has to be more than just that.

            Yeah, they keep topping themselves. Bush Sr was probably a weird choice for the time, being the CIA guy.

          Atleast her selection gave us quality pornography like Who’s Nailin’ Paylin? What would JD give us, just a creep molesting furnature.

          Dick was a horrible VP. A vile human being. But on paper he looked decent until the position. Jergin Dick just seems like a horrible choice in every way possible. Not recognizable. Bad reputation. Talks shit about his boss. And flip flopped on everything since forever. Zero integrity.
